Reality programmes are something that families love. They're often competitions and are entertainment for families, although there is also voting involved. Many call to vote but are actually spending money on it, often that's how these shows get the money and profit that they need. The viewers of these shows are very strong fans of the competitors and would do anything to get them more votes, they would do this by making facebook groups and spreading the word. Although when it comes to the end decision it's obvious that a competitor got more votes than another, although the judges may not like them because of their attitude or because of things that happen backstage. This makes people think about reality TV shows and if they're "fixed" or not and less start voting and start thinking, after all it is their money that they're spending when voting for the person. I think that they are hoaxed sometimes because of backstage incidents or that the judges just disagree to the viewer's views and votes.
